It was a bad day for GGG

[Dean_Razorback]

Martinez wasn't ever going to fight GGG anyway. Geale is a solid fight, then Soliman. Both of those fighters are better than Martinez now, no question.

yeah, and no wonder why he didn't fight him before, the martinez of last night dies in the ring with GGG, seriously.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Do you seriously believe Cotto is the no.1 MW? Let's ignore that he's the lineal champ for beating Martinez for a second. Ask yourself is he better than GGG? Will he beat GGG if they fight? How about the other MWs?

I think this is one of those rare occasions where the man who beats the man isn't even the man at the division.

Why is Cotto not the man? He IS the one who beat the MAN. Its up to anybody else in the MW division to prove they are the MAN at this point IMO.

They never had GGG in their plans. Dibella said Cotto first, then Canelo, then MAYBE GGG.

Cotto isn't the man at 160.

I grant him, he beat the lineal. (Sounds grand. Like what a Flom0 would say.)

But lets keep it 1 million.

Dude isn't the dude that played the dude disguised as another dude.

That's ****** as hell, so Cotto who's only fight at 160 is against the cripple martinez, manages to discredit what everybody else has been doing at 160 because he cherry picked martinez at the perfect time.

You probably consider Pacquaiao a legit 154 champion also.

Well, if Quillen would man up and face GGG then we'd have a pretty good fight in our hands and see which one is the hypejob.

Cotto was placed #1. Rubio is interim. Now you're defending the WBC in troll attempts. Broker Shoulder Roll can't make a single valid point.

Rubio agreed to step aside so that Sergio could fight Cotto. Which is a time honored practice when a big money fight is on the table.

That doesn't change a thing about the linearity of the title. Sergio had it and Cotto took it from him.

GGG doesn't automatically become #1 in the division from any of that.

[Grimgash]

This, pretty much. It's a good day for Golovkin as he is now the #1 MW without having to throw a punch.

Personally, I don't like how people are saying Golovkin has to move up.

I think Cotto will fight and lose to Canelo if he beats (imo) a harder fight in Lara. If that happens you might see GGG vs Cinnabun....Say what you will about Canelo but he'll fight anyone regardless of his promoters wishes.

So you accept Cotto's #1 ranking by the WBC. Got it.

Cotto vs GGG, who you got? That's what I thought...

The price ain't right
